OK, here is a sneak peek of a memo board that I have done for my soon to be here granddaughter. I am not old enough to be a grandma by the way, even if my dd is 24 years old! :) I will be adding a wee bit of snazzy embellishment to this memo board, but wanted to give you a little preview. I will be doing a class on how to make these awesome memo boards on MyCreativeClassroom.com, probably in the spring. Whatcha think?I'll be posting a few more things in the next week or two. Just don't tell my dd, I want it to be a surprise.......... ;)tfl!

Hi there!!!Thanks for stopping by! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Pam Sandy and I am a crafting maniac. I love to sew for people as well as the home, quilt, scrapbook, alter things, paint, make jewelry, stamp, make cards, write a bit, and quite a few other things as well. I am brand new to the world of blogging though, so bear with me while I get my feet wet here. I am so happy you stopped by. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have about any of the things I have listed. I value your input as I try to narrow down my choices for classes. I have some AWESOME projects and ideas percolating for My Creative Classroom, the wonderful new online class forum that I was lucky enough to be chosen for. There are tons of super talented teachers there, believe me! Anything you want to learn in the way of crafting, creating, or scrapbooking, it will probably be there! I can't wait to take some classes myself. :) I will be teaching two classes starting in November for the opening kick off of classes. If you would take a moment to post which classes sound the most appealing to you, I would greatly appreciate it. I have narrowed my choices down, but need to narrow them further. If you have a request for a class, please list that in this thread as well. I pretty much love crafts of all types, but I am not a knitter. I am sure one of the instructors at My Creative Classroom is though!Thanks again for stopping by, I look forward to getting to know you.

How did I come up with Pam's Eclectic Stuff?

eclectic --adj.- selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas *Since I like a huge variety of arts and mediums, this seemed perfect, we will talk about the best of various styles or ideas.

stuff- The noun stuff has 7 senses - 1. material, stuff -- (the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread")2. whatchamacallit, stuff, whatsis, sundry, sundries -- (miscellaneous unspecified artifacts; "the trunk was full of stuff")3. stuff, clobber -- (informal terms for personal possessions; "did you take all your clobber?")4. stuff, stuff and nonsense, hooey, poppycock -- (senseless talk; "don't give me that stuff")5. stuff -- (unspecified qualities required to do or be something; "the stuff of heros"; "you don't have the stuff to be a United States Marine")6. stuff -- (information in some unspecified form; "it was stuff I had heard before"; "there's good stuff in that book")7. stuff -- (a critically important or characteristic component; "suspense is the very stuff of narrative")

*What more needs to be said? I really thought about using Pam's Eclectic Sundries, but I thought that might be tough to remember. :) Stuff is easy and conveys a variety of meanings. I like the definition- miscellaneous unspecified artifacts. I also liked whatchamacallit, but that is a lot of typing. :)

About Me

Hi there! I love creating things, be it scrapping projects, fabric projects, quilting projects, altered art, jewelrry making, stamping, cards, and crafts of many other venues. I love color and texture. I am an avid quilter, love to design my own patterns, and have sewn home décor as well as children and adult’s clothing and costumes. I have dabbled in many different mediums and crafts over the years. I have sold my work in a variety of retail establishments, as well as directly to the public. I have taught many different classes, and have been fortunate enough to be on several design teams.
I owned a porcelain doll business, as well as a laser steel artwork business. If I can figure out how to make it, I usually do. To me, creating and crafting is the best therapy in the world. I love gardening as well, I am married, volunteer regularly, have 2 adult children, 5 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. My husband and I also like to travel.
